Lee leads Thompson by 1 stroke at Evian (The Associated Press)

EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France (AP) -- Mi Hyang Lee retained the lead in difficult weather in the third round of the Evian Championship, where teenager Lydia Ko remained in contention to become the youngest player to win a major.

Lee shot 1-under 70 for a 10-under total of 203 and a one-shot lead over American Lexi Thompson, who carded a 5-under 66.

Lee was paired with Morgan Pressel (71), and they went toe to toe until the par-4 18th hole, when the American double-bogeyed after landing her second shot in water.
